Curious to see if Israel will stop killing children for a little while after the deal or if they’ll just ignore the deal entirely like they have with every other deal with them and every other country in their vicinity.

Best review I've read since the one that said Twelve Angry Men would be improved if you knew for sure whether the defendant was guilty or not.

There is one central, core truth to hold on to:

Most Americans don't actually know most of what's happening. But they still don't approve of the slice they do know about.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.
